8/5/09 - Letter #23 - Serving Ronald McDonald

A few weeks ago the people at Kraft were kind enough to give me 10 coupons for free cream cheese. Since I always pledged that I would gift away 1/2 of any donations to the site, I had to figure out something to do with 5 cream cheeses.

Update: We did not have a guest writer this past week. We did receive two interesting responses this week.

The other is a response from the Boston Red Sox from the letter I sent to Bud Selig and Donald Fehr on my waning interest in baseball.

 

6/4/09 - Letter #17 - "What Have I Gotten Us Into?"

Last week, I announced that I was going to walk the equivalent of a marathon and raise money for the American Cancer Society with my buddy Dalvin. This week I am wondering if I will actually be able to complete it.

 

6/2/09 - Guest-Writer Will Ng - "To All the Would Be Manly Men"

5/28/09 - Letter #16 - Anyone For a Marathon?

After a little over 3 months of letters on the site, I decided it was about time to do something a little out of the ordinary. So I called my friend Dalvin and asked if he wanted to walk a marathon - since I know I can't run one. To my disappointment, he said "Yes". So to make it worthwhile, we're raising money for the American Cancer Society.
